How Do Orders Work on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:14 pm

When you set up a shop on Shopify, you’ll need to choose how you want your orders to be fulfilled. You can either fulfill your orders yourself, or use Shopify’s built-in order fulfillment service.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to use Shopify to sell products online, it is important to understand how orders work on the platform. When an order is placed, Shopify will send an email notification to the store owner and/or the fulfillment provider (if one is set up). The order will then appear in the Shopify admin, where it can be processed.

It is important to note that Shopify does not currently support automatic order processing or fulfillment. This means that all orders must be manually processed and fulfilled by the store owner or a designated fulfillment provider. This can be a time-consuming process, so it is important to plan accordingly.

If you fulfill your orders yourself, you’ll need to keep track of your inventory and make sure that you have enough products in stock to meet customer demand. You’ll also need to package and ship your orders yourself.
